00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:49.259
And I almost just wanted to say my old podcast

00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:54.619
name. I'm my friend Carrie, who's going to talk

00:00:54.619 --> 00:00:58.560
about... Well, yeah, I'm just going to let her...

00:01:00.019 --> 00:01:03.579
I'll just let her talk. Welcome on Crazy Fitness

00:01:03.579 --> 00:01:06.159
Guys Healthy Movement Podcast. Thanks, Jimmy.

00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:09.019
I'm happy to be here. And so I'm just going to

00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:10.959
go ahead and introduce myself and we can kind

00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.379
of go from there. My name is Carrie Lonnie. So

00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:16.719
I go by Carrie. You don't have to include Lonnie.

00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:21.340
It's my middle name. Long story. But I help.

00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:25.349
mostly women, but through my life, I've mentored

00:01:25.349 --> 00:01:28.230
men and I have boys, but I help people overcome

00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:31.489
their limiting beliefs and take small baby steps

00:01:31.489 --> 00:01:35.170
of bold action towards their ideal lifestyle.

00:01:35.510 --> 00:01:38.250
So a lot of the time, this kind of manifests

00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:41.650
through business because for me, it always came

00:01:41.650 --> 00:01:45.590
back to money. But when it really comes down

00:01:45.590 --> 00:01:48.579
to being successful and finding happiness, It

00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:51.280
all comes down to mindset and mental health and

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.920
making sure that you're kind of on the ball and

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.760
taking care of yourself so that you can show

00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.260
up for other people. So that's kind of what I

00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:00.439
do. I help other people learn how to take care

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.859
of themselves. Gee, I wish I met you years ago.

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.219
So what made you want to get into helping people

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:15.780
take care of themselves? Well, you know, I think

00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:19.340
it's kind of the age old story of learning the

00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:23.120
hard way. So I, you know, I ended up being a

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.599
teen mom and I had my first baby and then I had

00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.659
another baby. And then I ran into somebody in

00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:30.460
the grocery store that knew me in high school

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:33.379
and said, what is your job? Are you just a baby

00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:36.180
maker now? You know, and that kind of, that kind

00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:38.020
of hit me hard because I was like, well, yeah,

00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:40.620
kind of, you know, I, I really didn't do anything

00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:45.159
except for take care of my family. So I neglected

00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.900
myself for long enough that it became a problem.

00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:51.620
And I kind of had to learn how to rebuild who

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:54.219
I was from the ground up. That took a lot of

00:02:54.219 --> 00:02:58.159
work and it took a lot of time. And I did it

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.639
all on my own because I didn't realize that there

00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.120
were other people that were out there like willing

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.319
to walk me through these steps and help me take

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:11.500
these leaps. And it took me. almost five years

00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:13.639
from the time that I started and realized like,

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.300
I don't want to just be like stuck where I am

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:19.139
now, you know? And so kind of my mission really

00:03:19.139 --> 00:03:22.439
is to help accelerate the process for other people,

00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:25.419
because I know what the diff, like what it looks

00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:27.800
like on the other side of this journey. And it's

00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.280
an incredible thing. And, you know, I have the

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.120
power and I run a successful business from home

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.539
and I take care of my three kids full time. You

00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:38.550
know, I'm basically a stay at home mom. It's

00:03:38.550 --> 00:03:41.669
like a dream that I never realized could even

00:03:41.669 --> 00:03:44.969
happen. And so my job really is to help inspire

00:03:44.969 --> 00:03:48.569
other people and help them get rid of all of

00:03:48.569 --> 00:03:50.969
that junk that they've been carrying around,

00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:52.889
all of those crappy beliefs that are holding

00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:55.849
them back, and then walk them through the process

00:03:55.849 --> 00:03:57.750
so that they can get to the other side as well,

00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:02.050
but faster than what I did. Well, I can relate

00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:05.189
with all of that because I had a lot of limiting

00:04:05.189 --> 00:04:10.719
beliefs. Probably with all the 90 plus hours

00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.979
of work that I've did over the last three years.

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:23.050
I mean, back in 2017 when I started. on WordPress,

00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:29.850
and I had so many, a lot of disabilities of everything.

00:04:30.889 --> 00:04:33.449
I was just like, I can't do this anymore. I was

00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:36.709
like, I feel like I'm an imposter. And it's like,

00:04:36.750 --> 00:04:39.310
people are going to say, oh, and it's like, just

00:04:39.310 --> 00:04:42.810
because you're, and it's like, oh, boo -hoo for

00:04:42.810 --> 00:04:46.209
the person who has autism. Oh, who wants to read

00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:50.370
any of that articles? Well, I finally tried,

00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.579
I still kind of periodically have those beliefs,

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:01.480
but then somehow over these few years of running

00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.100
Crazy Fitness Guy, I've seen a lot of people

00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:08.540
want to read my stuff because I got into Google

00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:13.240
News and I went from, and I even had Google who

00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.759
doubted anybody wanted to read this. I went from

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.050
probably like a Few people follow me on Google

00:05:23.050 --> 00:05:26.709
news up to like the last time I checked was like

00:05:26.709 --> 00:05:31.329
almost 1500. And I was like, man, people at Google

00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:33.529
must be really kicking themselves right now.

00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:38.410
I like to think that way. Right. Well, yeah.

00:05:38.430 --> 00:05:41.050
And, you know, like I think going into it with

00:05:41.050 --> 00:05:43.470
a positive attitude and always assuming that

00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:46.350
people are on your side is a great way to like.

00:05:46.829 --> 00:05:48.410
Keep yourself motivated because if we're always

00:05:48.410 --> 00:05:51.449
in our heads thinking, no, we can't do that.

00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:53.670
Or like, what if that person doesn't like how

00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:55.810
I talk to them? Or what if they think I'm spammy

00:05:55.810 --> 00:05:57.850
or salesy or they don't want to read my stuff?

00:05:58.209 --> 00:05:59.730
That's going to drag you down and you're not

00:05:59.730 --> 00:06:02.310
going to reach your goals, right? So I like to,

00:06:02.389 --> 00:06:05.230
and it takes time to like teach your brain how

00:06:05.230 --> 00:06:07.689
to do this on its own without having to be conscious

00:06:07.689 --> 00:06:11.100
about it, but always. think on the positive side,

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.639
always assume the positive, you know, that person

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.519
is excited to hear from you and they want to

00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.759
hear about what you do. You know what I mean?

00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.019
And so I love that you've had that experience

00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:22.220
with your, you know, with your blog. That's amazing.

00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:28.500
So how, what do you think causes these negative

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:32.060
beliefs? Well, I think that there are things

00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:35.360
that we kind of absorb from other people. So

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.180
from the moment that we're born, we are surrounded

00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:42.199
by other people's beliefs whether they're truth

00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.399
or just like this idea that they've created or

00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.139
that's been passed on through the generations

00:06:48.139 --> 00:06:51.019
it you know it doesn't really matter you still

00:06:51.019 --> 00:06:54.160
absorb it at the same level so if you're surrounded

00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.420
by people that have limiting beliefs you're going

00:06:56.420 --> 00:07:00.959
to pick those up and as you go through life you

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.939
know, you get more and more of these. And I think

00:07:03.939 --> 00:07:06.519
that that's part of why people that have had

00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.879
a really negative life experience, you know,

00:07:08.899 --> 00:07:12.360
they have had like a rough childhood or they've

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.839
gone through a lot of trauma or they have, you

00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.620
know, disabilities that weren't addressed and

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:18.180
they didn't get the support that they needed.

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.259
I think that that's why they have so much more

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:25.040
to sift through before they get to the other

00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.850
side. And it's also kind of where we get stuck

00:07:29.850 --> 00:07:33.170
because it feels really overwhelming. And I think

00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:35.470
a lot of people that are in that space don't

00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:37.230
realize that there's help and that there are

00:07:37.230 --> 00:07:47.649
people that will like. Forget everything that

00:07:47.649 --> 00:07:50.170
you know about a web browser because you will

00:07:50.170 --> 00:07:56.490
be blown away by psychic browser. It's no ordinary.

00:07:57.339 --> 00:08:01.699
web browser like Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:04.800
Edge, and all the other web browsers out there.

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:10.560
It's based on productivity. And let me just name

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.560
a few other functionalities that it has. It's

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:19.939
very fast. It blocks ads by default. You don't

00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:23.860
see that with Google Chrome, do you? Nope. And...

00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.660
There's also a built -in sidebar so you can have

00:08:28.660 --> 00:08:34.360
all your tools and systems all in one place without

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:39.360
having to go search and wait for the webpage

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.000
to load. It's just right there with the click

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.860
of a button. Try Sidekick out below with the

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:49.639

00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.600
information about Sidekick. boost your productivity

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:58.259
probably tenfold. because that's what i use it

00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:01.899
for is productivity check out sidekick and tell

00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:04.059
them i sent you i'm an energy just trying to

00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:06.139
book my podcast and then what if i don't get

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:08.480
enough guests on time you know so i had that

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.679
fear that was holding me back from starting it

00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.500
and then as soon as i got three guests i was

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:15.580
like wait a second this isn't hard like that

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:17.259
was just holding me back that's not something

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:20.299
to let me like to hold me back from what could

00:09:20.299 --> 00:09:23.179
be you know an absolute game changer for my business

00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:27.509
who knows you know and so I think that we have

00:09:27.509 --> 00:09:29.710
those beliefs because we're surrounded by people

00:09:29.710 --> 00:09:33.850
that have never learned how to overcome their

00:09:33.850 --> 00:09:36.549
limiting beliefs. And so we have to figure out

00:09:36.549 --> 00:09:39.009
how to get into a space where we're around people

00:09:39.009 --> 00:09:41.509
that do know how, and we can learn those tools

00:09:41.509 --> 00:09:43.370
instead of picking up the negative. Does that

00:09:43.370 --> 00:09:48.769
make sense? Yeah. And would you think, in your

00:09:48.769 --> 00:09:51.870
opinion, would you say people could also get...

00:09:53.389 --> 00:09:56.769
Is there a negative outlook on life by watching

00:09:56.769 --> 00:10:00.470
the news too much? Oh yeah, absolutely. I think

00:10:00.470 --> 00:10:03.149
that anything that has a negative undertone is

00:10:03.149 --> 00:10:05.850
going to affect your energy. So, you know, everything

00:10:05.850 --> 00:10:09.669
in life is really, it's energy. You know, if

00:10:09.669 --> 00:10:11.590
you think about it, like atoms are literally

00:10:11.590 --> 00:10:13.710
little particles that are like bouncing around

00:10:13.710 --> 00:10:16.250
and they create solid things. And so, you know,

00:10:16.250 --> 00:10:18.169
if we, we can get into the science of it, but

00:10:18.169 --> 00:10:21.039
really what it comes down to is. When you're

00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.779
surrounded by all of these negative thoughts

00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:26.240
and negative situations, that's what your brain

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.419
is consuming. And when your brain is consuming

00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:30.980
that, that's what it focuses on. So if you're

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:33.539
focusing on negative things like watching the

00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:37.419
news too much or always looking at what is happening

00:10:37.419 --> 00:10:40.279
that is bad around you, then your brain is automatically

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:45.779
going to assume a negative outlook. So how would

00:10:45.779 --> 00:10:48.299
you train? How can someone train their brain?

00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.519
uh to stop thinking negatively or like or maybe

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.820
not so much negatively like every single comment

00:10:57.820 --> 00:11:01.659
is negative but like perhaps maybe like maybe

00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:07.000
one or two negative thoughts once it like spread

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.169
out in a day so it's not like oh it's here's

00:11:11.169 --> 00:11:12.870
a negative, here's a negative, here's a negative.

00:11:13.049 --> 00:11:14.990
And every single sentence that comes out of the

00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:17.190
mouth is negative, negative, negative, negative,

00:11:17.250 --> 00:11:21.649
and negative. Right. So I would say like the,

00:11:21.710 --> 00:11:26.070
like almost pre first step, I don't know how

00:11:26.070 --> 00:11:29.470
else to put that. So it's to be willing and open.

00:11:30.009 --> 00:11:31.950
to changing in the first place so a lot of the

00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:34.350
time we've gotten stuck in this cycle because

00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:36.669
the people around us are also stuck in this cycle

00:11:36.669 --> 00:11:38.889
and it makes us relatable and it makes it really

00:11:38.889 --> 00:11:41.970
easy to be like hey how are you and then oh let's

00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:44.149
rant together and let's connect on this really

00:11:44.149 --> 00:11:47.350
basic shallow level of just complaining right

00:11:47.350 --> 00:11:50.269
and you have to be willing to let go of that

00:11:50.269 --> 00:11:54.259
if you want to improve your mindset because you're

00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:56.940
going to find that as you change, it's harder

00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:00.179
to connect with people that are not willing to

00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:02.639
change. So I'd say, first of all, be willing

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.519
to change your life. I know that sounds silly

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.179
because who doesn't want a dream life, right?

00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.220
But we all find that human connection super comforting.

00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.600
And so if you're not willing to make the changes,

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:15.899
they're never going to happen. But then the step

00:12:15.899 --> 00:12:19.059
after that is to start catching yourself. So

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:22.159
every time you... think something negative and

00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.100
you're like wait a second and then replace that

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:27.059
thought so if there's like you're gonna start

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:30.299
noticing patterns for example i am not a morning

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:34.639
person i struggle to wake up um by nature you

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:38.740
know it's like i'm a total night owl and My kids

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:40.740
go to school now, and so I really want to make

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:42.799
it so that I have my evenings off and I work

00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.139
during the day. And in order to do that, I had

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:48.100
to rewrite that whole concept of like, I'm not

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:50.360
a morning person and I can't get up and be productive.

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:53.860
You know, so when I wake up and I'd be like,

00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:56.980
oh, it's like six o 'clock in the morning. This

00:12:56.980 --> 00:12:58.820
sucks. You know, and then I'd catch myself and

00:12:58.820 --> 00:13:00.639
be like, wait a second. You're doing this for

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.700
a reason. And then it'd be like waking up in

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:06.019
the morning at six o 'clock is enabling me to

00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:08.830
live my dream. lifestyle and spend time with

00:13:08.830 --> 00:13:12.309
my family you know and so catching yourself and

00:13:12.309 --> 00:13:15.570
rewriting your story is kind of like the first

00:13:15.570 --> 00:13:19.570
step of being able to shift out of that like

00:13:19.570 --> 00:13:24.690
never -ending negative cycle I am totally not

00:13:24.690 --> 00:13:29.149
a knife person I mean like I'm good until like

00:13:29.149 --> 00:13:34.240
maybe 10 10 30 and then I'm starting like Okay,

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.899
my eyes are really getting tired. I'm getting

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:43.100
bored. And then when I get bored, I'm doing stupid

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:46.200
stuff. I mean, not like dangerously stupid stuff,

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:48.820
but I'm like, I'm scrolling through news feeds

00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:52.460
on my phone. And then I was like, yeah, this

00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:56.320
is really, really stupid. Right? And then the

00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.820
next morning, I'm like. Yeah. Well, see, that's

00:14:01.820 --> 00:14:03.539
kind of, that's. you know kind of what I had

00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:05.519
to do was like flip the perspective from like

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.860
oh I don't want to be a morning person to like

00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:10.100
okay being a morning person is going to change

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:12.600
my life let's do this you know what I mean and

00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.279
it's really like you take the you can take the

00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.639
same path and get completely different outcomes

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.259
depending on your attitude towards the situation

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:25.879
and your perspective on it you know so I think

00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:29.610
that's what happened I think you and me kind

00:14:29.610 --> 00:14:32.149
of had similar situations a little bit because

00:14:32.149 --> 00:14:35.669
I didn't really like getting up super early in

00:14:35.669 --> 00:14:39.830
the morning. I was definitely not a morning person

00:14:39.830 --> 00:14:44.929
growing up because I absolutely hated going to

00:14:44.929 --> 00:14:48.490
public school and everything. And I slept in

00:14:48.490 --> 00:14:51.470
on the weekends until like probably 9, 10 o 'clock

00:14:51.470 --> 00:14:53.950
in the morning. And I'm not really sure why,

00:14:54.190 --> 00:14:59.129
but probably because I stayed up late. My parents

00:14:59.129 --> 00:15:01.750
didn't let me do anything I wanted to do, but

00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:06.570
once I was in my bedroom, it's not like they're

00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:08.570
going to keep coming in and check on me and say,

00:15:08.610 --> 00:15:10.350
are you asleep? Are you asleep? Are you asleep?

00:15:13.909 --> 00:15:21.070
It's not like I've... But anyway, but then after

00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:24.980
high school and... after three years and then

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:27.179
after high school my mom said like you have to

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:29.440
start becoming a morning person have some kind

00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:34.720
of routine and that's when I decided to start

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.320
waking up at a certain time so I was like okay

00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.679
six o 'clock is too early and 6 30 is still too

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.679
early so I said seven o 'clock because like okay

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.299
it's not too early it's not too late the sun

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:50.850
will be up and And so then it was like, okay,

00:15:50.909 --> 00:15:55.009
I don't have an excuse to go back to sleep. Or

00:15:55.009 --> 00:16:00.570
I feel like, oh, it's still dark outside. But

00:16:00.570 --> 00:16:05.970
then once I got into college, I mean, I've been

00:16:05.970 --> 00:16:15.070
in college for one too many years. For this semester,

00:16:15.309 --> 00:16:19.809
some of my classes were early. And because I

00:16:19.809 --> 00:16:23.549
like to start, I like to wake up at 7. But then

00:16:23.549 --> 00:16:26.450
I was like, OK, I'm going to push waking up.

00:16:26.769 --> 00:16:32.730
I'm going to wake up at 6 .30 so I can get my

00:16:32.730 --> 00:16:35.529
workout in. And then I'm going to do whatever

00:16:35.529 --> 00:16:41.330
I have to do from one or a few tasks for my business.

00:16:42.250 --> 00:16:46.710
before school because afterwards I'm going to

00:16:46.710 --> 00:16:49.509
do some marketing because I know if I had to

00:16:49.509 --> 00:16:56.090
edit a podcast or blog afterward, the chances

00:16:56.090 --> 00:17:02.389
of me doing that is very, very slim because I

00:17:02.389 --> 00:17:05.630
know I'm like, this is too much information from

00:17:05.630 --> 00:17:07.470
after school and start banging my head against

00:17:07.470 --> 00:17:15.190
the wall. Yeah. yeah it's terrible i would managing

00:17:15.190 --> 00:17:17.549
your energy and i love that you are like aware

00:17:17.549 --> 00:17:19.650
of that because it's super important and it's

00:17:19.650 --> 00:17:21.910
a skill that a lot of people lack being like

00:17:21.910 --> 00:17:24.430
able to look at your life and be like no there's

00:17:24.430 --> 00:17:26.009
no way i can fit that in because i'm going to

00:17:26.009 --> 00:17:27.930
be exhausted after i do that i'm not going to

00:17:27.930 --> 00:17:30.869
be able to actually retain the information and

00:17:30.869 --> 00:17:34.170
do the job efficiently you know and so i totally

00:17:34.170 --> 00:17:36.490
commend you on managing your energy like that

00:17:36.490 --> 00:17:38.930
and be well you know being willing to take those

00:17:38.930 --> 00:17:43.980
steps towards creating like A time blocking schedule

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:46.680
really is what it sounds like you do that works

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.299
for you. And I actually, I talk about that a

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:51.519
lot at managing your energy because, you know,

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.720
like I said, I have three kids and I run a business

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.119
from home and my kids are with me. So my boys

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:59.720
are in school, but my three -year -old is always

00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.799
with me. And like you, I have to manage my energy

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:04.640
because I'm not only doing the mom stuff, I'm

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.140
doing the business stuff too. And it takes, you

00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:10.529
know, a lot of juggling to be like, okay. you

00:18:10.529 --> 00:18:12.789
know you can't just go hard all the time you're

00:18:12.789 --> 00:18:14.609
going to burn out if you do that and so you have

00:18:14.609 --> 00:18:17.049
to be conscious of where you're going to need

00:18:17.049 --> 00:18:19.430
the break and then figure out how to get the

00:18:19.430 --> 00:18:22.710
break that you need right yeah how many uh how

00:18:22.710 --> 00:18:25.009
many people can relate uh that we all burnt out

00:18:25.009 --> 00:18:28.849
i have yeah oh yeah i've totally burnt out before

00:18:28.849 --> 00:18:31.509
absolutely that's i think that's part of like

00:18:31.509 --> 00:18:33.950
what i try to teach people is like how to not

00:18:33.950 --> 00:18:37.519
burn out you know Well, this year especially

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.160
because of the coronavirus. But, you know, I

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.319
actually heard this podcaster said before. Oh,

00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.359
no, is this copyrighted? I don't remember the

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:53.680
podcaster, but oh, well. This person said that

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:58.700
you should schedule your times throughout the

00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:01.339
year of when you're going to take a break. And

00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:05.849
so what I decided to do is follow her. I don't

00:19:05.849 --> 00:19:09.650
remember if it was her or a guy. Their advice

00:19:09.650 --> 00:19:16.369
then. Because I knew if I planned out my breaks,

00:19:16.569 --> 00:19:20.529
I'm going to take those breaks. And so it's funny,

00:19:20.690 --> 00:19:25.950
at the beginning, earlier today, I already blocked

00:19:25.950 --> 00:19:29.069
off like three weeks of vacation just for the

00:19:29.069 --> 00:19:32.319
end of the year. Richard, it's only two weeks,

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:37.480
but since I might be going to Chicago and visit

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:42.859
my cousins, I was like, there's no, I was like,

00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:46.640
I'm not taking any, I was like, if someone wants

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.019
me to be a guest, I'll be a guest, but I'm not

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:53.940
going to do any more guest recordings during

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:57.119
that week, and then afterwards, it's Christmas

00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.240
and holidays and New Year's, and it's like, I'm

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:02.039
taking three weeks. And it's like, if people

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.180
don't like it, I'm sorry, but you know, I planned,

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:09.839
I was like, I had smaller vacations a week, five,

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.079
like maybe three days here, a day for my birthday.

00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.539
But I was like, at the end of the year, I'm,

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:21.059
I'm going the full blast. And it's like vacation.

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:25.259
You know, that's, that's the awesome part of

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:26.920
it. Those that you have the power to do that.

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.539
Cause you're running your own business. Right.

00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.849
And you're like, you're the one in charge you

00:20:30.849 --> 00:20:33.210
get to call the shots that's part of the appeal

00:20:33.210 --> 00:20:38.549
and it's it's a beautiful thing for sure so good

00:20:38.549 --> 00:20:41.710
job for blocking that time out and trust me it's

00:20:41.710 --> 00:20:44.470
not a vacation every single time when i'm uh

00:20:44.470 --> 00:20:49.130
i mean it's not a joyride every single time uh

00:20:49.130 --> 00:20:52.589
for business because i have i still have some

00:20:52.589 --> 00:20:55.769
tools that break on me occasionally uh pretty

00:20:55.769 --> 00:20:59.819
much like months in a blue moon but Then it's

00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:02.359
not too painful to deal with because at least

00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.859
then it's really mostly on the company's fault,

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.960
not mine. Right. Yeah. I mean, a lot of it comes

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.279
down to just communicating. And I like to say

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.059
don't have low expectations, don't have high

00:21:14.059 --> 00:21:17.259
expectations, just have no expectations, show

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:20.519
up and just be willing to like move with whatever

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:24.019
happens, you know, adapt. And you're going to

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:27.480
be disappointed way less often. So that's one

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:29.710
of the things like I know that. Before when we

00:21:29.710 --> 00:21:32.150
talked, we spoke a little bit about like you

00:21:32.150 --> 00:21:35.009
mentioned having a part time job in order to

00:21:35.009 --> 00:21:37.069
like make sure that you can keep doing things

00:21:37.069 --> 00:21:39.549
and that your business, you know, takes off.

00:21:39.569 --> 00:21:42.609
And I actually like I totally agree with that.

00:21:43.190 --> 00:21:47.490
I would say my breakthrough was when I went and

00:21:47.490 --> 00:21:49.269
I became a server. So I'd been trying to blog

00:21:49.269 --> 00:21:51.869
for almost three years and I'd been doing it

00:21:51.869 --> 00:21:53.710
with all the kids. And, you know, it was really

00:21:53.710 --> 00:21:56.319
difficult just to like. balance everything. And

00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:58.180
I didn't have any money really to put into it.

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.559
So I was just bootstrapping it all and do I doing

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:05.599
everything I could by myself. And, and so I ended

00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:08.119
up going out and getting a serving position.

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:10.960
And I worked outside of the home three days a

00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.220
week, it was really long days, but I ended up

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:15.859
making enough money that suddenly my blog became

00:22:15.859 --> 00:22:18.960
a passion project instead of like, I have to

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:25.440
make money off of this right now. And the It

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:27.359
took the pressure off. And then suddenly I had

00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.400
all of this energy and I felt excited about what

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.400
I was doing. And I was doing things that felt

00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:34.700
good and aligned with the message I wanted to

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:38.680
share instead of doing things that felt spammy

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.700
and salesy and not good, you know, that people

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:43.819
weren't responding to anyways, because I was

00:22:43.819 --> 00:22:47.480
so desperate, you know? So yeah, I totally agree

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.420
with, you know, I believe like the end game.

00:22:51.369 --> 00:22:53.630
for me and like what I would love to see the

00:22:53.630 --> 00:22:56.789
world transition into is kind of like screw corporate

00:22:56.789 --> 00:22:59.430
they don't exist anymore it's all small business

00:22:59.430 --> 00:23:03.049
we all like help each other and like rise together

00:23:03.049 --> 00:23:05.549
you know because there's just room for everyone

00:23:05.549 --> 00:23:08.450
but in the meantime if you need to go and work

00:23:08.450 --> 00:23:11.250
for somebody else so that you can make sure that

00:23:11.250 --> 00:23:15.250
you have like less stress and you can come and

00:23:15.250 --> 00:23:18.009
show up from a place of authenticity then absolutely

00:23:18.009 --> 00:23:21.730
take that path you know Yeah. And I have to admit,

00:23:21.829 --> 00:23:24.589
I do not have a part time job at the moment.

00:23:25.490 --> 00:23:29.190
And I'm not saying because I don't agree with

00:23:29.190 --> 00:23:32.390
my own advice. It is that because I'm slightly

00:23:32.390 --> 00:23:36.049
autistic, I need a little bit extra time doing

00:23:36.049 --> 00:23:39.049
homework and my homework assignments tend to

00:23:39.049 --> 00:23:42.140
be multiple step homework assignments is not

00:23:42.140 --> 00:23:45.339
just answering a question it's I'm writing a

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:50.279
six to eight page research paper and so it's

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:54.599
like I need time and and I mean like I know there's

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:57.799
only 24 hours in a day and and people might say

00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.079
oh well just stay up and it's like I don't function

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.339
staying staying up and that's what I what happened

00:24:04.339 --> 00:24:06.720
with me on the WordPress is that when I was staying

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.980
up very late uh, working on it, I break more

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:14.619
crap. Yeah, no, for sure. I totally agree with

00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:16.880
that. And I would say that, you know, you, you're

00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.960
in college, which is a part -time job on its

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.680
own, you know, or more. And so I just don't get

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:26.279
paid for it. Yeah. Yeah. You're paying for it,

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:28.039
but you know, it takes up that chunk of your

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.349
time. So I guess like. I come from a place where

00:24:31.349 --> 00:24:34.470
I was a stay -at -home mom, and it felt like

00:24:34.470 --> 00:24:36.190
I had all of this time, but I actually didn't

00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:37.750
have all of this time because I had all of my

00:24:37.750 --> 00:24:39.589
other responsibilities, and then I was trying

00:24:39.589 --> 00:24:42.190
to fit a business in. The internet can be a distraction

00:24:42.190 --> 00:24:45.789
place. It's full of distractions like social

00:24:45.789 --> 00:24:50.109
media, shopping, and so many more websites that

00:24:50.109 --> 00:24:53.849
are very distracting, just like video games and

00:24:53.849 --> 00:24:57.089
whatnot. But it is all over the place. So much

00:24:57.089 --> 00:25:01.480
noise going on. With a blocker tool like Freedom

00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:04.619
Blocker, it can block all those distraction websites

00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:09.339
that you find distracting. I block RuneScape,

00:25:09.579 --> 00:25:13.920
Facebook, Twitter, and all the social media marketing

00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.880
tools. Without Freedom Blocker, I wouldn't be

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:22.579
able to run crazyfitnessguy .com because I'd

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:25.200
be distracted all day long. But thanks to them.

00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:32.019

think, Oh, gee, I think this would take hours

to cook, but they already took out all the cooking

00:27:58.109 --> 00:28:00.410

00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:56.579
And the business side of it felt really stressful

00:29:56.579 --> 00:30:01.339
because it was, in my brain, the key to getting

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:03.779
to where I wanted to go. It always comes back

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:07.619
to money. Everything that I dig into, it feels

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:09.680
like it always comes back to money because that

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:12.359
is like a very tangible way to see the return

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:15.380
on what we're doing, you know. But I wasn't getting

00:30:15.380 --> 00:30:18.680
anywhere. And it was stressful and it felt really

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.339
hard. And then it became not fun anymore. And

00:30:21.339 --> 00:30:23.960
I didn't even want to do it, you know. And by

00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.000
getting a part time job, I was able to pay for

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:28.700
daycare, which was actually really good for my

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:33.079
kids and like pay off my debt. And then I could

00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.220
show and I had. like, more energy than I'd ever

00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:40.240
had before, you know, so I just, like, if you,

00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:42.160
if things are feeling hard, there's probably

00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.779
a reason, and you should look at, like, that

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:48.680
root cause and shift, you know what I mean? Yeah,

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:54.019
and if somebody wants, for me, what I've been

00:30:54.019 --> 00:30:58.099
doing, like, I write in a digital journal, some

00:30:58.099 --> 00:31:00.299
people might like to write in a paper one, but

00:31:00.299 --> 00:31:03.900
for me, I lose paper. My handwriting is sloppy

00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:08.579
as heck. I write like a two -year -old. Actually,

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:10.180
no, I think a two -year -old might be right better

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:16.019
than me. But I like to write digitally because

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:21.480
I'm more organized digitally than I am. Yeah,

00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:26.200
I'm just going to say go with that. But, yeah,

00:31:26.539 --> 00:31:32.299
I have a lot of digital tools on my phone. Like

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:37.140
I have – like when you said of time blocking,

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:40.599
I have an app for time blocking that syncs with

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.680
my Google Calendar. I used to use my Google Calendar

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:48.420
for everything of time blocking, but I got so

00:31:48.420 --> 00:31:52.609
overwhelmed. I saw – you know how like a – Do

00:31:52.609 --> 00:31:56.170
you use Google Calendar? Yeah. Well, you know

00:31:56.170 --> 00:32:00.130
how you can color code everything? Well, I pretty

00:32:00.130 --> 00:32:02.349
much, since I had everything in my calendar,

00:32:02.490 --> 00:32:05.769
it looked like so many Skittles and everything,

00:32:06.049 --> 00:32:09.390
so many rainbows and everything. I was overwhelmed.

00:32:10.569 --> 00:32:14.269
And, of course, mine, for whatever reason, it

00:32:14.269 --> 00:32:17.289
opens to the month view. And so every time I

00:32:17.289 --> 00:32:19.940
go into a calendar, it's like. No, I'm scared.

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:23.299
I was like, no, no, no. And I know when I got

00:32:23.299 --> 00:32:29.039
just to that a particular day, it wasn't really

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.160
that scary. It was manageable. But just opening

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:35.099
up that, so I finally just found another app

00:32:35.099 --> 00:32:38.000
that I could sync with it. And so I put all my

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.140
details in that block scheduling app. And I just

00:32:41.140 --> 00:32:46.829
put all my most important. events like podcasting,

00:32:46.829 --> 00:32:52.890
my blogging schedule, and my working schedule

00:32:52.890 --> 00:32:56.829
when I'm done with school and everything, and

00:32:56.829 --> 00:32:59.710
my class schedule and my Google Calendar as the

00:32:59.710 --> 00:33:02.269
most important. I mean, they're all important

00:33:02.269 --> 00:33:05.410
to me in some way, shape, or form, but I was

00:33:05.410 --> 00:33:10.130
like, I couldn't find doctor appointments after

00:33:10.130 --> 00:33:13.359
a while. I can't do this anymore. I have everything

00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:17.480
in one place. And I do have some all -in -one

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.019
tools on my computer, but at least I can find

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:21.880
crap in there. But in my calendar, I was like,

00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.140
this is overwhelming. I can't do this anymore.

00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:28.440
I use this thing every single day. I can't find

00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.539
this. My mom's like, Jim, when do you see this

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:37.359
doctor? Let me maybe consult my calendar. I don't

00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.980
know. Right. Well, I love that you found a solution

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:44.180
that said, you know, I think like I've also gone

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:47.059
through that struggle and I kind of like I just

00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:49.420
write a to do list every night before I go to

00:33:49.420 --> 00:33:51.960
bed. And then I get up and I look at it and then

00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:53.680
I check my calendar for the really important

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:57.799
stuff I can't miss, you know. So I'm glad that

00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:59.900
you figured it out. I would love to hear, you

00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:02.740
know, like I'd love to learn the name of that.

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:05.599
What is that? What's the app that you use? It's

00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.679
called. Can't even form the question. I've been

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:15.219
there, too. It's called... Where the heck is

00:34:15.219 --> 00:34:25.219
it? Where is it? I'm too organized that I can't

00:34:25.219 --> 00:34:29.440
find crap on my phone. Awesome. That's so funny.

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:32.500
It's called Timetune. I don't know if they have

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:35.730
an... I think they have an Apple one. Let me

00:34:35.730 --> 00:34:42.010
Google it while I'm on the show. Timetune. For

00:34:42.010 --> 00:34:45.650
people who are listening, this thing is the most

00:34:45.650 --> 00:34:51.889
lightsaving app ever. If I can find their website.

00:34:53.309 --> 00:34:56.769
I believe it's only for Android, but I could

00:34:56.769 --> 00:35:03.449
be totally wrong. How do they not even have,

00:35:03.510 --> 00:35:07.150
like, a button for Android? Well, they have Android.

00:35:07.469 --> 00:35:10.510
Well, it looks like they only have Android. But

00:35:10.510 --> 00:35:13.610
I'm sure there's probably an Apple one for Apple.

00:35:14.650 --> 00:35:18.650
Yeah. I wouldn't be as – I'd be shocked if they

00:35:18.650 --> 00:35:22.530
don't. Or there might be some other third -party

00:35:22.530 --> 00:35:26.210
app out there. But I use that, and I use Microsoft

00:35:26.210 --> 00:35:32.500
To -Do List because I'm kind of – I know I'm

00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:36.019
not a big fan of every corporate company, but

00:35:36.019 --> 00:35:42.000
I like stuff that syncs across my devices. I

00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.940
have three devices, and if I'm not using one,

00:35:47.059 --> 00:35:53.380
I'm always using a mix of the three. If I had

00:35:53.380 --> 00:35:56.300
to go back onto one computer just to view something

00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:59.300
or a piece of paper and carry it with me all

00:35:59.300 --> 00:36:01.969
the time, it's like... Well, this is very inconvenient.

00:36:03.750 --> 00:36:06.570
No, I totally understand that. User experience

00:36:06.570 --> 00:36:09.269
is extremely important. So for any small businesses

00:36:09.269 --> 00:36:12.650
out there listening, you know, make sure that

00:36:12.650 --> 00:36:16.969
you, like, do your best to make it as convenient

00:36:16.969 --> 00:36:24.429
as possible, right? Yeah. But also, what do you

00:36:24.429 --> 00:36:29.280
think for people who – where do you think – What's

00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:35.420
the best step for people to take in order to

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:40.820
change their unknowing beliefs? Do you think

00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:45.780
writing in a journal would help or seeing a therapist?

00:36:47.420 --> 00:36:51.599
Yeah, absolutely. So I have a few things I can

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:54.159
say about this. First of all, I think that writing

00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:56.360
in a journal, if you feel stuck and you're like,

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:59.050
I don't even have a clue what to do next, writing

00:36:59.050 --> 00:37:01.929
in a journal is a great step because you're documenting

00:37:01.929 --> 00:37:04.570
what is happening. And just like before you're

00:37:04.570 --> 00:37:07.230
going to start to notice patterns and then you're

00:37:07.230 --> 00:37:09.289
going to be able to like recognize, okay, these

00:37:09.289 --> 00:37:11.030
are the things that I'm doing that are making

00:37:11.030 --> 00:37:13.769
it so that I'm feeling stuck, you know, or the

00:37:13.769 --> 00:37:15.389
things that need to change or the things that

00:37:15.389 --> 00:37:17.610
we need to work on, you know? And so that's like

00:37:17.610 --> 00:37:20.789
something that you can do 100 % by yourself without

00:37:20.789 --> 00:37:25.369
any help from an expert or whatever. As far as

00:37:25.369 --> 00:37:29.469
like therapy goes, I think that therapy is helpful

00:37:29.469 --> 00:37:32.929
for people that have a lot of trauma or grief

00:37:32.929 --> 00:37:36.389
or really like deep seated problems that are

00:37:36.389 --> 00:37:39.269
holding them back. But I also don't think that

00:37:39.269 --> 00:37:42.909
it gives results as quickly as some of these

00:37:42.909 --> 00:37:48.349
like newer things. So I personally would. recommend

00:37:48.349 --> 00:37:50.650
working with a therapist and a life coach if

00:37:50.650 --> 00:37:52.630
that's your situation because basically life

00:37:52.630 --> 00:37:56.329
coaches help you start from now and look at your

00:37:56.329 --> 00:37:58.949
life and figure out where you want to be and

00:37:58.949 --> 00:38:01.409
then like I said before they hold your hand and

00:38:01.409 --> 00:38:03.110
they walk you through it and everything that

00:38:03.110 --> 00:38:06.650
pops up they help you address so it's like you're

00:38:06.650 --> 00:38:08.829
walking through this labyrinth but you have somebody

00:38:08.829 --> 00:38:10.969
that actually knows how to get there and they're

00:38:10.969 --> 00:38:14.070
going to help you overcome like Which direction

00:38:14.070 --> 00:38:15.849
should I turn? You know, they're going to help

00:38:15.849 --> 00:38:17.809
you figure that out so that you can get to the

00:38:17.809 --> 00:38:19.989
end goal that you want to get to. And I find

00:38:19.989 --> 00:38:22.590
that that's really, I find that that's really

00:38:22.590 --> 00:38:26.969
helpful for most people, even like, like, you

00:38:26.969 --> 00:38:30.969
know, therapy has like a really negative stigma

00:38:30.969 --> 00:38:33.110
attached to it because, you know, if you have

00:38:33.110 --> 00:38:34.489
to go to therapy, something's wrong with you,

00:38:34.530 --> 00:38:36.590
blah, blah, blah. I totally don't agree with

00:38:36.590 --> 00:38:40.420
that. I think that most people will. benefit

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:43.619
from it but i also think that it is a slower

00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:47.840
path like it's almost like mending your insides

00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:50.860
rather than learning how to just like break through

00:38:50.860 --> 00:38:53.079
and then get to the next level so that that stuff

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:55.000
isn't even an issue in your life anymore because

00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.219
you just left it behind does that make sense

00:38:57.219 --> 00:39:02.539
yeah uh i admit that i i also see a therapist

00:39:02.539 --> 00:39:07.980
um just because sometimes I need somebody to

00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:12.000
vent to because my parents get annoyed when I

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:16.039
vent at them. They don't have patience to hear

00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:22.059
me vent, but yet they like to vent to me, around

00:39:22.059 --> 00:39:26.099
me, and it's like, so it's one -sided, cool.

00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:37.019
Appreciate it. But I also have to say, I, when

00:39:37.019 --> 00:39:41.599
writing in the journal, I found out why I always,

00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:45.679
I tend to get annoyed really quick when something

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:49.980
doesn't go my way. I mean, not like acting like

00:39:49.980 --> 00:39:52.880
a two -year -old or anything or a five -year

00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:58.679
-old or a bratty kid, but it's, but. I mean,

00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:01.739
like when something breaks, like an important

00:40:01.739 --> 00:40:05.500
marketing tool for me that I use, I was like,

00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:10.280
it kind of gets me frustrated because all these

00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:13.340
thoughts race in my head. And it's like, please

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:15.340
don't tell me I'm going to have to replace this

00:40:15.340 --> 00:40:18.500
tool. And it's like, there's only so many free

00:40:18.500 --> 00:40:24.559
options out there that I can't. There are so

00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:27.420
many ads these days, wherever you go. There are

00:40:27.420 --> 00:40:30.840
ads in movie theaters, on TV, on radio, and on

00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:33.480
billboards. So why would you want to listen to

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:36.719

00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:58.500
in my opinion because it keeps my water nice,

00:40:58.699 --> 00:41:01.980
cold, and refreshing throughout the day. And

00:41:01.980 --> 00:41:03.719
yes, I do drink a lot of water throughout the

00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:07.320
day. So even though it stays colder for longer,

00:41:07.500 --> 00:41:13.639
I still like having a reusable water bottle like

00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:18.719
Hydroflask because it just sits on my desk. And

00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:22.960
it just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,

00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:27.659
you got to drink water. And Hydro Flask, it keeps

00:41:27.659 --> 00:41:31.039
it cold longer, which makes me want to drink

00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:33.519
more water throughout the day because, you know,

00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:36.920
there's nothing worse than drinking warm water.

00:41:37.860 --> 00:41:42.500
Go to hydroflask .com and use the link in the

00:41:42.500 --> 00:41:46.000

00:42:02.650 --> 00:42:06.289
place. It's full of distractions like social

00:42:06.289 --> 00:42:10.610
media, shopping, and so many more websites that

00:42:10.610 --> 00:42:14.349
are very distracting, just like video games and

00:42:14.349 --> 00:42:18.000
whatnot. It is all over the place. So much noise

00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:21.980
going on. Well, with a blocker tool like Freedom

00:42:21.980 --> 00:42:25.119
Blocker, it can block all those distraction websites

00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:29.820
that you find distracting. I block RuneScape,

00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:34.420
Facebook, Twitter, and all the social media marketing

00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:37.380
tools. Without Freedom Blocker, I wouldn't be

00:42:37.380 --> 00:42:43.079
able to run crazyfitnessguy .com because I'd

00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:45.760

00:43:28.630 --> 00:43:35.769
the show i can't go digging through the whole

00:43:35.769 --> 00:43:40.300
internet just to find something i was like And

00:43:40.300 --> 00:43:43.659
then that's when I get my, it kind of puts me

00:43:43.659 --> 00:43:46.159
in, I wouldn't say shock, but it kind of just

00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:50.440
makes my, it just makes me, yeah, it kind of

00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.579
freezes me up and everything. And then I kind

00:43:52.579 --> 00:43:57.619
of get all into the really annoyed mood. And

00:43:57.619 --> 00:44:02.000
then it kind of just like ruins like maybe an

00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:05.400
hour or two of my day. And when I was younger,

00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:09.039
my whole day. And so when I've been writing my

00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:13.699
journal, I look back and say, wait, this is what's

00:44:13.699 --> 00:44:17.800
caused it. And so one day when this tool broke,

00:44:18.219 --> 00:44:21.019
at first I thought it was maybe something else.

00:44:21.099 --> 00:44:28.000
Well, I knew that annoyed me, but then I knew

00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:32.239
I was annoyed at that. And then it just continued,

00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:34.159
and I was just getting annoyed at everything

00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.940
there afterwards. So then when I was writing

00:44:37.940 --> 00:44:40.880
back in my journal, I like to do it at night

00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:44.179
before I go to bed, and it's like, so what caused

00:44:44.179 --> 00:44:47.440
all this? And I look back and it's like, just

00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:51.380
that one tool that is totally important that

00:44:51.380 --> 00:44:55.300
made all my branding possible and layouts for

00:44:55.300 --> 00:44:59.079
social media possible. And I was like, that's

00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:02.079
what messed up my afternoon of this one afternoon.

00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:08.199
But the good part is that I figured it out. And

00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:13.019
so basically I kind of turned myself around that

00:45:13.019 --> 00:45:19.400
day and told myself, this wasn't your fault.

00:45:19.500 --> 00:45:23.730
You didn't get annoyed just for no reason. big

00:45:23.730 --> 00:45:26.510
tool that was placed in a very important part.

00:45:26.730 --> 00:45:29.949
It wasn't just like a small little tool and I

00:45:29.949 --> 00:45:33.050
was just like, well, I use it once like every

00:45:33.050 --> 00:45:36.469
three months. And I was like, if it broke, I

00:45:36.469 --> 00:45:41.369
could care less. But a very, it's like one, this

00:45:41.369 --> 00:45:44.750
tool is like, it's like one of the very important

00:45:44.750 --> 00:45:48.170
rings in the Lord of the Rings. One ring to rule

00:45:48.170 --> 00:45:52.300
them all. Yeah. No, I totally understand that,

00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:54.320
you know, and it's the total like it's a natural

00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:57.280
response. Everybody struggles with that. All

00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:00.820
we can do is learn our triggers so that we can

00:46:00.820 --> 00:46:04.739
avoid them and learn how to control our like

00:46:04.739 --> 00:46:07.579
our reactions so that we don't end up wasting

00:46:07.579 --> 00:46:10.139
hours out of our day. You know what I mean? And

00:46:10.139 --> 00:46:12.579
I think that you can get there. with a life coach

00:46:12.579 --> 00:46:14.719
or with a therapist and it really depends on

00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:18.119
kind of like the level of help that you need

00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:21.860
and whether you're focused on like preserving

00:46:21.860 --> 00:46:24.840
your relationships and fixing your past and working

00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:27.599
through all of that, or if you're looking towards

00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:30.239
reaching your goals and just getting there as

00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:32.619
fast as you can. And like I said before, the

00:46:32.619 --> 00:46:35.420
most effective method would be to work with both.

00:46:35.739 --> 00:46:38.599
Some life coaches are actually licensed therapists

00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:41.599
as well. I'm not one of them. I am not a licensed

00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:44.079
therapist. I do have a lot of life experience

00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:47.380
that backs up what I teach, and the methods that

00:46:47.380 --> 00:46:49.849
I teach are pretty effective. people see good

00:46:49.849 --> 00:46:54.150
results with them but um i think that it you

00:46:54.150 --> 00:46:56.929
know it kind of comes down to how much digging

00:46:56.929 --> 00:46:59.230
you want to do because there are methods of like

00:46:59.230 --> 00:47:01.469
working through these limiting beliefs and getting

00:47:01.469 --> 00:47:04.650
rid of the triggers that don't even involve like

00:47:04.650 --> 00:47:07.610
talking about your childhood or any of that like

00:47:07.610 --> 00:47:10.610
typical therapy stuff that they like you think

00:47:10.610 --> 00:47:16.550
of when you think of a you know therapy and what

00:47:16.550 --> 00:47:20.219
are some of the things that you teach uh besides

00:47:20.219 --> 00:47:25.300
uh taking care of oneself yeah so i mean one

00:47:25.300 --> 00:47:27.380
of the like my favorite like most simplistic

00:47:27.380 --> 00:47:31.219
um things to just kind of start rewriting your

00:47:31.219 --> 00:47:33.699
brain is to use affirmations every day and i

00:47:33.699 --> 00:47:36.619
believe in writing your own so what you're doing

00:47:36.619 --> 00:47:39.769
is like every morning you wake up and you look

00:47:39.769 --> 00:47:42.590
at yourself in the mirror and you tell yourself

00:47:42.590 --> 00:47:44.989
these things and it's almost like brainwashing

00:47:44.989 --> 00:47:49.630
yourself but your brain actually has a path that

00:47:49.630 --> 00:47:52.710
have been cut into it and you have to like these

00:47:52.710 --> 00:47:54.909
can be rerouted almost like a river you know

00:47:54.909 --> 00:47:57.769
and wherever you put more water it's gonna go

00:47:57.769 --> 00:48:00.429
so you can like start to create like a little

00:48:00.429 --> 00:48:03.590
stream and then grow it. And so, and like turn

00:48:03.590 --> 00:48:05.949
it from being like a negative roaring river that's

00:48:05.949 --> 00:48:08.329
like taking over your whole life to like nurturing

00:48:08.329 --> 00:48:11.269
this stream of positivity, I guess is like kind

00:48:11.269 --> 00:48:14.230
of a metaphor that maybe might make sense. But

00:48:14.230 --> 00:48:17.409
affirmations are so easy and they're so simple.

00:48:17.469 --> 00:48:19.989
And just the secret to using affirmations is

00:48:19.989 --> 00:48:22.090
to make them something that you can believe.

00:48:22.409 --> 00:48:25.309
So, you know, if you have, like, for example,

00:48:25.309 --> 00:48:27.730
if you're going to school and you have terrible

00:48:27.730 --> 00:48:30.250
testing anxiety, Instead of telling yourself

00:48:30.250 --> 00:48:33.590
every day being like, oh, I'm terrible at taking

00:48:33.590 --> 00:48:35.750
tests and I'm going to fail because blah, blah,

00:48:35.769 --> 00:48:37.469
blah, blah, blah. You know, we all go down those

00:48:37.469 --> 00:48:40.829
like paths, you know, wake up and be like, I

00:48:40.829 --> 00:48:43.909
think that I'm, you know, I'm a decent test taker.

00:48:43.929 --> 00:48:46.389
It doesn't have to be I'm going to get an A plus

00:48:46.389 --> 00:48:48.110
on this test. Like, I'm just going to kill it.

00:48:48.130 --> 00:48:49.929
I'm not going to get any answers wrong. You know,

00:48:49.929 --> 00:48:51.429
so I think that that's kind of a misunderstanding

00:48:51.429 --> 00:48:53.769
that people have. Because if you're lying to

00:48:53.769 --> 00:48:56.269
your brain. No pressure. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

00:48:56.269 --> 00:48:58.429
if you're lying to yourself, like deep down inside,

00:48:58.530 --> 00:49:00.230
you don't believe it anyway. And so it's going

00:49:00.230 --> 00:49:02.469
to take you months of repeating that phrase over

00:49:02.469 --> 00:49:04.710
and over again to actually rewrite that belief.

00:49:04.769 --> 00:49:07.170
It'll work if you're consistent and you do it

00:49:07.170 --> 00:49:10.809
all the time. But the like faster path is to

00:49:10.809 --> 00:49:12.309
just make it something you can believe and be

00:49:12.309 --> 00:49:14.849
like, I'm not afraid of taking a test. This is

00:49:14.849 --> 00:49:17.590
easy. Taking tests is easy. That's all you have

00:49:17.590 --> 00:49:20.510
to do. You know, like my daughter is three and

00:49:21.340 --> 00:49:24.019
She helps me put her laundry away and like I

00:49:24.019 --> 00:49:26.599
sit there and she does it and I watch her and

00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:28.920
support her, you know, and offer like moral support.

00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:31.559
And she gets frustrated sometimes when the basket

00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:33.480
is really full because it looks overwhelming,

00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:35.380
even though it's not hard. It's going to take

00:49:35.380 --> 00:49:39.320
us 10 minutes or less, you know. And so one of

00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:41.139
the things that I tell her all the time is she'll

00:49:41.139 --> 00:49:43.219
be like, oh, it's too hard. I can't do it. And

00:49:43.219 --> 00:49:46.900
I'll say, it's not hard. Cleaning is easy. You

00:49:46.900 --> 00:49:48.639
know, and as soon as I say that, like two or

00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:50.420
three times, she goes, you're right, mom. Cleaning

00:49:50.420 --> 00:49:52.659
is easy. And she gets it done in like two minutes.

00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:56.840
And so it's just about like retraining yourself

00:49:56.840 --> 00:50:00.900
to. believe in yourself you know because a lot

00:50:00.900 --> 00:50:02.940
of the time we're like we grow up in the society

00:50:02.940 --> 00:50:06.179
where almost everything feels out of reach like

00:50:06.179 --> 00:50:10.780
we're being taught to settle over and over and

00:50:10.780 --> 00:50:13.159
over again you know no it's too hard you can't

00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:14.780
go after your dreams you can't have your own

00:50:14.780 --> 00:50:17.340
business you can't possibly have tons of money

00:50:17.340 --> 00:50:20.420
or travel the world before you're 50 or I mean

00:50:20.420 --> 00:50:22.260
there are all of these things that are holding

00:50:22.260 --> 00:50:24.380
us back you know and we believe them because

00:50:24.380 --> 00:50:25.860
that's what we've been taught and that's what

00:50:25.860 --> 00:50:28.869
we've been told but the reality is That those

00:50:28.869 --> 00:50:30.610
are just beliefs that other people have told

00:50:30.610 --> 00:50:32.429
us. And there are people out there living the

00:50:32.429 --> 00:50:35.530
life that we want. And we just have to remind

00:50:35.530 --> 00:50:38.849
ourselves that and take baby steps and just tell

00:50:38.849 --> 00:50:41.389
us every day, you know, I can have the life I

00:50:41.389 --> 00:50:44.989
want. Like, I'm in control. And you do that through

00:50:44.989 --> 00:50:48.409
these simple, believable phrases. It's funny.

00:50:49.309 --> 00:50:58.469
One of my guest appearances was on a life podcast.

00:50:58.329 --> 00:51:03.889
on the Life Coach podcast. And she basically

00:51:03.889 --> 00:51:07.530
asked me what was my hold back and everything.

00:51:07.769 --> 00:51:12.650
And so she wanted to have me open up about what

00:51:12.650 --> 00:51:16.829
my limiting beliefs were and everything. And

00:51:16.829 --> 00:51:23.050
it's funny. And I admit that I couldn't figure

00:51:23.050 --> 00:51:27.260
this out writing this in a journal. And even

00:51:27.260 --> 00:51:29.619
though I've been, like, journeying for a long

00:51:29.619 --> 00:51:35.199
time, I like many journals. I guess they use

00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.159
this other journal called Penzoo, but then their

00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:40.800
developers stopped supporting their app, and

00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:46.199
I don't believe in when apps break and they don't

00:51:46.199 --> 00:51:51.300
no longer support them. I was like, yeah. This

00:51:51.300 --> 00:51:55.550
thing was, like, maybe, like, last year. around,

00:51:55.630 --> 00:51:57.929
like, November, and I was like, well, maybe they're

00:51:57.929 --> 00:52:00.829
coming back, but this thing hasn't been updating

00:52:00.829 --> 00:52:03.889
since 2017, and I was like, how did I miss that

00:52:03.889 --> 00:52:10.170
number? Yeah, no, for real. And then so, and

00:52:10.170 --> 00:52:14.429
so she helped me figure it out, she figured out

00:52:14.429 --> 00:52:21.239
what my limiting beliefs were. And basically

00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:25.039
what I figured out when she was walking me through

00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:28.739
it was that I have a split personality, so to

00:52:28.739 --> 00:52:31.940
speak, is that I'm kind of, like, fighting with

00:52:31.940 --> 00:52:35.019
myself, so to speak, if that makes any sense.

00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:41.000
Like, I have, like, for myself, I kind of have,

00:52:41.059 --> 00:52:43.940
like, high standards, and I feel like I should

00:52:43.940 --> 00:52:48.239
be somewhere where, like, I see my friends or

00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:52.920
I see people All these people online, it was

00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:56.039
like, oh, look, I have my life in order. I'm

00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:58.699
getting married. I'm doing this. I'm taking a

00:52:58.699 --> 00:53:01.340
different path. Right now, I'm not focusing on

00:53:01.340 --> 00:53:07.099
that. I'm still in college. But my split personality

00:53:07.099 --> 00:53:10.139
is telling me it's like. What are you doing?

00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:14.079
I was like, you have a website. Whoop -de -doo.

00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:15.920
You're still living at home with your parents.

00:53:16.300 --> 00:53:18.460
Look, you're a big failure. You can't even support

00:53:18.460 --> 00:53:21.599
yourself. I was like, you're not even getting

00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:24.739
consistent income. I was like, what do you do

00:53:24.739 --> 00:53:31.860
all day? And I'm seeing people on social media

00:53:31.860 --> 00:53:36.179
like, oh, these people are getting... Billions

00:53:36.179 --> 00:53:39.260
of followers out of nowhere and I get like a

00:53:39.260 --> 00:53:43.420
few each day. And I don't feel like I'm posting

00:53:43.420 --> 00:53:48.059
enough. And she basically walked me through all

00:53:48.059 --> 00:53:51.500
that. And now I'm like saying, who cares what

00:53:51.500 --> 00:53:57.579
people think? And I'm seeing better results when

00:53:57.579 --> 00:54:00.380
I don't post every single second of the day.

00:54:02.190 --> 00:54:05.349
I get more followers. I get more likes when I

00:54:05.349 --> 00:54:08.909
don't post a whole lot of stuff. I might post

00:54:08.909 --> 00:54:12.690
maybe once or twice, but do I really need a third

00:54:12.690 --> 00:54:16.769
post on this one platform? Probably not. Right.

00:54:18.250 --> 00:54:23.400
Quality over quantity, for sure. totally normal

00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.079
I think most of us have that like little person

00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:28.280
inside of us just nagging and saying hey you're

00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:29.659
doing this wrong you're doing that wrong blah

00:54:29.659 --> 00:54:32.599
blah blah you know and you just have to learn

00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:34.940
how to make that person as small as possible

00:54:34.940 --> 00:54:39.219
because I would say it doesn't go away but you

00:54:39.219 --> 00:54:42.099
can learn how to overpower it you know and that's

00:54:42.099 --> 00:54:44.079
kind of the goal is to make it so small that

00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:47.019
you can hardly hear the voice anymore so and

00:54:47.019 --> 00:54:52.789
it's a process Just keep saying shut up to yourself

00:54:52.789 --> 00:54:56.530
because that's what I do. Shut up voice. I don't

00:54:56.530 --> 00:54:59.349
want to hear you. Exactly. You've got to catch

00:54:59.349 --> 00:55:03.570
the thought and then rewrite it. Before we wrap

00:55:03.570 --> 00:55:07.349
up, where can people find you and do you have

00:55:07.349 --> 00:55:14.010
any last pieces of advice for people? Yeah, absolutely.

00:55:14.369 --> 00:55:19.230
You can find me on Instagram at It's I am Carrie

00:55:19.230 --> 00:55:22.929
Lonnie. And that's really the best place to find

00:55:22.929 --> 00:55:25.230
me. So I do have a podcast that's launching soon.

00:55:26.030 --> 00:55:28.050
It's not up yet. I don't have a link for it.

00:55:28.090 --> 00:55:31.010
So the link in my bio is going to always be updated

00:55:31.010 --> 00:55:34.449
with my most recent offer. You know, I offer

00:55:34.449 --> 00:55:36.309
one -to -one services. I'm working on a group

00:55:36.309 --> 00:55:41.510
program. And so I would say anybody that feels

00:55:41.510 --> 00:55:45.369
really stuck in their circumstances, you know,

00:55:45.369 --> 00:55:48.449
take a look around. and like really think about

00:55:48.449 --> 00:55:51.769
whether the life you're living is the life that

00:55:51.769 --> 00:55:53.809
you desire or if it's the life that you're being

00:55:53.809 --> 00:55:57.329
told you should live and and then start making

00:55:57.329 --> 00:56:01.590
decisions based on the result of that like analysis

00:56:01.590 --> 00:56:05.369
you know look around and you know if you want

00:56:05.369 --> 00:56:08.280
something totally different Figure out the path

00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:10.320
that's going to take you there and start taking

00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:12.320
baby steps towards it. You know, it's going to

00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:15.519
take time, but every single day is an opportunity

00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:20.380
to make one small step. And you'll get there

00:56:20.380 --> 00:56:21.920
sooner than you think if you start doing that

00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:24.000
consistently. And reach out. Ask for help if

00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:26.340
you want it. Then you can really fast track it.

00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:32.599
